constantlyeating Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Your stats are definitely solid! Is there a particular reason you don't want to take the GRE? I honestly didn't think it was too bad when I took it and doing so opens up your options a lot more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many schools that don’t require it. I’ll consider what you’ve said as I continue exploring school choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hustleforthePAC Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) based off my experience and looking at your stats you’ll get interviewed at most of the nor and s cal schools- you went to UC Brainiac and have good experience you’ll be fine. i’ve highlighted the ones I think you’d like based off my research and experience. start preparing for your interviews, get all your lors in, write meaningful experiences in caspa all around before June that way you’ll qualify for early interviews, get an early decision and decide where you wanna go. save up for flights know the schools mission and why you’d want to attend. here are programs I’d add that are top notch with a lot of support that i think you’d get an interview for university of tampa yale online ucD i’ve applied and interviewed at most of the schools on your list lmk if you have any other questions. ps: for AT still i would recommend waiting until later on in the cycle to click submit, for them to get the green light , last I spoke to them they were still physically under construction.

Hi, Thank you for the insightful reply. Yes, I was planning to wait until AT Still was given accreditation before I applied. I plan to do the same with Samuel Merrit because it was placed on probationary status. Also, there are some other CA schools opening, such as Point Loma Lazarene, which I’ll apply to if given accreditation. I’ll consider what you’ve said and reach out to you if I have any questions.

SMU is transparent about their probation status and its a legit program, they have a really nice cadaver lab. Students there seem pretty happy. Loma Linda is nice too, great hospitals in area- long supplemental application due two weeks after submitting but worth it.

Pava18 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I applied to most schools you listed and got accepted to Le Moyne, PCOM, St John’s, and Sullivan! However I decided to attend Gardner Webb which is near Charlotte NC and I love it so far. Maybe add that one to your list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you did not get into any CA schools. Did you apply to them? I live in CA and would prefer to stay here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pava18 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I am from the east coast so I wanted to stay on the east coast! I only applied to Western on the west coast and when I found out I got interviews on the east coast I turned down the interview offer for western. Best of luck I’m applying and let me know if you have any other questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
